Out of the way

Standard
Sunday 14th May 

Our destination's
Out of the way
But we don't mind
Nature's display
Fields of green
Wildflowers in bloom
All around us
Countryside's perfume

The winding roads
Lead on and on
Past babbling brooks
And fields of corn
We take our time
Enjoying the view
With all the beauty
Of lands anew

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

A Slice of Cornwall, near Gweek
An outdoor lunch
Wild yeast, sourdough pillow bread with squid, chili jam, lettuce, cucumber and mango… Splendid
Two waffles, drenched crispy chicken, maple syrup, pearl sugar and sea salt
Narrow, narrow road… One vehicle wide, with high Cornish hedges either side
We met cars, lorries and two tractors…. Lots of reversing and manoeuvring to safely pass!
Slow and steady
Gnarly trees

Deepening sighs

Standard
Saturday 13th May 

Deepening sighs
Stress will depart
Serenity
In mind and heart
Simple joy
The scene devine
Cerulean skies
And warm sunshine

Love you so much
Treasured sons

A lovely morning in St Ives

Festival of Food

Standard
Friday 12th May 

On the beach with azure seas
Flags flutter in the gentle breeze
With deep blue skies overhead
Across the sand people tread

The beach alive with energy
A vibrant, joyful community
People of all ages, old and young
Tantalising foods on their tongue

The Festival of Food in full swing
A rainbow of colours, a joyful thing
Stalls and tents along the beach
Temptations are all within reach

Love you so much
Precious sons

St Ives harbour this morning
A different view of the Wharf
The harbour through the rocks at Pedn Olva
St Ives Food and Drink Festival
Around the world food choices
Porthminster Beach
Lots of different food tents
Pedn Olva Hotel and blue, blue sea
The harbour from the Malakoff
Over the rooftops

And be free

Standard
Thursday 11th May 

Shake off the
Doubts and fears
Face the world
Without the tears
You don't see
The anxiety
Striving to rise
And be free

Love you so much

Without a single care

Standard
Wednesday 10th May 

The sun shines bright and warm
Casting its golden rays
Upon the leaves and branches
Creating a tranquil haze

Many birds sing sweetly
Melodies fill the air
Flitting from tree to tree
Without a single care

Love you so much
Treasured sons
Beloved Mum

A much, much better day than yesterday. No more heavy downpours flooding the roads.

Springtime’s arrival

Standard
Tuesday 9th May 

Springtime's arrival
Brings new life
Nature awakens
From winter strife
Wet grass glistens
With morning dew
Buds burst open
With vibrant hue

Leaves unfurl
Catching sun's rays
Swaying in
The misty haze
Rain feeds the soil
Giving life to all
Clouds bring portent
Of a gentle squall

Love you so much
Treasured sons
Beloved Mum

Spring showers

Standard
Monday 8th May 

Spring showers
Come what may
Through the night
And into day
A reminder that
Even with rain
Beauty in life
Hope does remain

Love you so much
Beloved sons

St Ives this morning… A little drizzle
Along the front, this afternoon, and it’s pouring with rain!

Sunshine

Standard
Sunday 7th May 

Letting the sunshine
Guide my way
Exploring places
Day by day
In this world
Filled with wonder
A journey cherished
Like no other

Love you so much

A peaceful afternoon

Standard
Saturday 6th May 

A peaceful afternoon in the garden
Where the breeze gently blows
The flowers sway in harmony
With a rhythm that nature knows

I sit, watching in wonder
At the beauty that surrounds
Feeling the hush and calmness
In the garden that abounds

Here, amidst the blossoms
I find a sense of ease
Where I can breathe and rest
And let my worries cease

Love you so much
Treasured sons

St Ives this morning, with crowds gathering on the beach (low tide) to watch the Coronation on a big screen

So here we stand

Standard
Friday 5th May 

So here we stand
In the midst of it all
Among the joys and sorrows
The rise and fall
So much to be thankful
So much to give
So little time
Still we strive to live

Love you so much
Beloved sons
